HALIFAX, May 2E—The royal mail steam-,
sbip Cuba has arrived with Liverpool ad
vices to the llth, via QuOenstown on thel3th'
inst.
The Cuba hits 75 pasiengers for Boston
and 45 for Halifax.
The steamships North American and Bal- -
tic arrived out on the 10th, and the steam
ship Persia on the 12th.
The steamship . Hibernian arrived at Liv-'

- previously reported.
The rate of discount of the Bank of Eng
land advanced to nine per cent, on Friday
and to ten per cent, on Saturday.
The continental news continued warlike,
lint there were still hopes of peace.
The Financial Panic.
The financial panic culminated lath on
Thursday afternooa, the 10thdristant, in the
suspension of Messrs. Overend, Gurney &
Co. The business was converted in August
last into a united liability company, with a
- nominal capital of five millions sterling, of
which a million and a half was paid up.
The liabilities are stated at from ten to
twelve million pounds sterling. The break
down is attributed to heavy speculative
sales of shares, which forced them down
'from ten per cent. premium to a discount.
The delegates then began to get alarmed,
and the drain on the 10th was very severe.
Application for assistance was made at the
Bank of England, and the governors de
clined to grant any on the ground that it
would be ruin in a crisis like the present to
assist one establishment unless they were
prenared to help other applications as well.
It was too late to make a call on the
shareholders to take any other step. The
doors of the establishment were accordingly
closed.
The failure does not compromise the S ur-
Vey Bank, at Norwich.
On the following morning (Friday, the
11th,) intense excitement prevailed in tbe
financial circles of London, Liverpool, and
other centres, and business was almost sus
pended.
The Times, of the 12th, in its city article,
says:
The Bank of England yesterday raised
the rate of discount from 8 to 9 per cent.,and
the charge for special'advances to 10. The
pressure at these terms was enormous, and
it was only on unexceptionable bills that an
accommodation could be obtained. In the
meanwhile additional and most serious dis
asters were hourly announced.
The first was that of a comparatively
small bank, the English Joint Stock, for
XBOO,OOO sterling. Then came that of Peto
irk Betts, for four millions sterling, then that
of W. Shrimpton, railway contractor, for
4200,000, and finally it was understood that
the Liverpool Mercantile Credit Association.
whose paid-up capital is half a million
sterling,and the Consolidated Discount Corn
puiy,with a paid-up capital of a quarter
of a million sterling, must, with ex
tremely heavy commitments pass into li
quidation.
During the day the most intense anxiety
was manifested to ascertain if any steps had
been taken by the leading merchants and
bankers to represent to the Government the
extent of the crisis, and a false notification
in the Stock Exchange to the effect that
an extra issue of bank notes to the ex
tent of ten millions, had been authorized,
caused, at one time, a general rebound in
prices.
Later in the evening it transpired that
the Government had resolved to suspend
the Bank Charter act. The assets of Peto
dr. Betts, even under the most depressed cir
cumstances, are estimated at five million
sterling, and it is confidently assumed that
in a short time a proposition for the adjust
ment of all claims can be submitted.
Every one will hope that this may be the
case, for Sir Morton Peto and his partner
rank prominently among those who have
carried the fame of English enterprise to all
parts of the globe, while they' have com
manded high personal regard it 11 sections
among their countrymen. It is already
known that several failures among dealers
will be announced in connection with the
approaching half-monthly settlement.
'A large number of country bankers were
in London, to confer with their London
agents to provide against all danger from
local runs.
Rumors were circulated in the course of
the day of a severe run on the bank of Bar
nett, Hooper, Banbury dr, Co., bat they
were entirely without foundation. There
- was a run upon two or three other banks,
and being well met, soon subsided. Both in
- London and in the country ample prepara
tions were very generally made for such
contingencies.
In the Liverpool cotton market there was
an increased panic at the commencement on
Friday, but less unsteadiness at the close.
At Manchester there was a complete panic.
At Glasgow the' iron brokers resolved to
suspend business till Monday. In the Pro
duce markets at London prices were almost
wholly nominal. Taking into account the
depreciation that has simultaneously oc
curred in English funds, railroad and for
eign securities, dm., the diminution in the
market value of this property since the be
ginning of the year may be - considered to
reach one hundred and thirty millions ster
ling, to say nothing of the losses on cotton,
cotton goods, iron and other articles.
The Times, in an editorial, says: .
Ifanything can justify the suspension of
the Bank Charter act, the panic which
swayed the city to and fro on Friday may
excuse the step. Although we believed the
reign of terror was approaching its end, and
would have speedily ceased had' no infrac
lion of the bank law been permitted. Even
now it is probable the license allowed to the
banks will not be used. It cannot,however,
be denied that about midday yesterday the
tumult became a rout.
The doors of the most respectable banking
houses were besieged, more perhaps by a
mob actuated by a strange sympathy which
makes and keeps a mob together, than by
the creditors of Banks, and the throngs
heaving and tumbling about Lombard
street, made that narrow thoroughfare im
passable. Stich excitement on all sides has
not been witnessed since the great crisis of
1825.
Each man exaggerated the suspicions of
his neighbor; and until a report, at that time
unfounded, was circulated in the afternoon
that the Government had authorizeds the
bank directors to issue five millions addi
tional in notes; it seemed as if the fear and
distrust of the commercial world had and
denly become boundless. The statement
was baseless at the time, but served to allay
the Panic which had no solid foundation.
Mven then, the announcement ''of Peto's
suspension =did 'not revive the panic in its
intensity, and the statement of other stop
pages produced little effect.
The Times, adds: We need to be per
suaded that had the Government stood firm,
_
the panic Weald have subsided ed itselfgand
as we are' to. expect, confidence • will be
speedily 'veered, we • shall attribute it to'
natural cause's, rather than to the inter
ference of the xecutive Government
The Daily News applauds the wise and
prompt action of the Government,and says:
During Friday the Bank had extended its
loans and ,discounts , until the, amount ex
ceeded four millions sterling. ' •
The effect was to reduce the Bank reserve
to nearly three millions. This diminution,
and the _prevailing distrust; justified the
Government intervention.
The action of the Government was an
nounced in the House of Commons on
Friday, at midnight, by Mr. Gladstone, who
had been engaged all the evening_ in con
sultation with bankers and others. who
represented that the panic in this city was
without parallel in the financial history of
the country.
Mr. Gladstone said he had addressed a
letter to the Bank of England to the effect
that if they should find occasion to afford
relief to the wants of- legitimate commerce
and make such advances as would require
the issue of notes beyond the -amount al
lowed by the aet, the Government recom
mended them not to hesitate in doing so, and
undertook, in the event of that contingency
to make immediate application to Parlia
ment for an act of indemnity.
GREAT BRITAIN.
The Parliamentary proceedings were un
important. The House of. Commons debated
with some warmth the question of in
efficiency, from old age, of two Irish j udges.
Sir Robert Peel's remarks provoked some
slight excitement. No, action was taken.
The Morning Herald says: At a very
large meeting of Lord Derby's supporters,
on the 11th, it was resolved that no opposi
tion should be offered to the second reading
of the Reform bill for the redistribution of
the seats, and that the bilk be allowed to go
to the committee.
The cholera continued to prevail among
tbe passengers of the returned steamer Hel
vetia, and a few additional deaths are re
ported. The steamer remained in quaran
tine. A large number of the crew took
forcible possession of the tender and de
serted in the vessel, but they were subse
quently prevailed upon to return.
The seamen in Liverpool, and especially
those engaged on the steamers. were on a
strike for increased wages. Many of the
leading firms had acquiesced in the demands
of the men.
AUSTRIA, PRUSSIA AND ITALY.
The question of war for the moment is
overshadowed by the financial panic. There
is no modification in the threatening aspect
of affairs.
The Times, in a summary view of affairs
on the llth, says: cl.
The whole Prussian army, and great
bodies of troops are massed along the fron
tiers. Austria is bringing into the field
every man she can raise, and it is enough
to say the whole nation is panting for war.
There were rumors of communications
by France and 'England with Austria, with
a view to arrest an outbreak, but nothing
authentic has been developed.
The latest Florence papers regard war as
inevitable, and say by a modification of the
Ministry about to take place, La Marmora
will receive the military command.
It was stated that the King of Italy would
leave Florence on May 15th, for Piacenza.
The Italian Chamber of Deputies passed,
by a vote of 203 to 48, a bill granting the
Government extraordinary powers to pro
vide for the maintenance of the public
safety.
The exportation of horses is prohibited
from Italy.
Offices for the enrollment of volunteers
have been opened in Florence and other
cities.
The Italian Municipalities continued to
vote rewards and pensions to soldiers who
shall have distinguished themselves, and at
Messina the tram of thirty thousand and
was voted for the crew of the first Italian
man-of-war that shall take a distinguished
part in the operations against Venice.
The city of Venice is said to be closed to
traffic from without.
Italian and German journals have become
more reserved in their accounts of arma
ments and military intelligence.
A Royal decree was issued on the 10th,
dissolving the Prussian Chamber of Depu
ties. This measure was proposed to the
Ring by the Minister, in order that a fresh
election without delay might develop the
real feelings of the Prussian people. It was
thought that this might delay the outbreak
of war.
The Provinciale Correspondenz of Berlin,
in announcing the mobilization (if the entire
Prussian army, says 'the nation may be as
sured that the Government is willing to
maintain peace if it can be done with honor,•
and a due regard to the Prussian interests;
but it has resolved that it must act in a for
cible and decided manner to maintain those
interests. •
It is stated that Prussia in reply to the
Austrian despatch of May 4th, relative to
the Duchies, expressed a willingness to
enter into fresh negotions upon another
basis since that now proposed was not suita
ble for a starting point.
Another statement is that Bismarck had
declared to the Austrian Ambassador that
he would only accept the solution of the
question of the Duchies from a German
Parliament.
The Bavarian Government has ordered
the immediate mobilization of the entire
Bavarian army.
A number of the petty German sovereigns
had been in conference in Wirtemberg, but
the result was not stated.
Rumors were current at Vienna of Prus
sian preparations for war..
Orders are also said to have been issued
from Constantinople that the Turkish
army shall be raised to 'its full strength,
and ealrrig out twelve thousand of the re
serve.
Late despatches from Vienna say that the
aspect of affairs is regarded as threatening.
Hopes of mediation and peace are being re
garded as illusory.
A loyal manifestation and active military
measures are reported from various parts
of Austria.
The Archduke Regnien had left Vienna
for Verona,
The Vienna Neue Preunden Blatt says the
reply of Prussia to the last Austrian note
has been xeceived,and is calculated to cause
a complete rupture between the two Powers.
Immediately on this report becoming cur
rent, Mr. Motley, the American Minister,
had an interview on the subject with Count
Mensdorff.
A despatch of the 11th says, in conse
4uence of the protest of the American Min
ister, the last rifle volunteers, who joined
the corps destined for Mexico, have been
sent home upon an unlimited furlough.
Attempted Assassination of Bismarck.
An attempt was made to assassinate
Count Bismarck as he was walking in Ber
lin. The assassin fired several shots from
a revolver. I3ismark received only a slight
contusion. The assassin was arrested bat
committed suicide in prison.
Count Bismarck had been serenadedupon
his escape from assassination. In a speech
to the crowd he said:
"We -me all ready to die for the Ring and
our fatherland, let it be on the pavements
of the street or on the battle-field. -Oar
common feeling finds its best expression in
the cry 'Long live the King!' "
AVISTRVI. AND AIM
A Vienna telegram, of the 9th; says the
departure of , the Austrian volunteer corps
for service in Mexico, is reported to have
been fixed for the 10th of May, from its
rendezvous at Laiblach.

The News by the Steamship City of New
The following is a summary of the news
sent out by the steamer City of New York,
on the 9th :
The steamship City of Washington ar
rived safely at Liverpool on the 9th, in tow
of the City of Cork.
Several additional deaths from cholera
had occurred among the German emigrants
on board the steamer Helvetia, at Liver
pool.
In the House of Lord an inquiry was
made if the English Government had ten
dered its mediation in the German-Italian
difficulty.
Lord Clarendon said the Government had
taken care to let it beknown that England's
good offices would be freely tendered if de
sired, but the result was discouraging, and
England could do nothing alone.
He feared the consequence was that a mil
lion of men were armed and ready for ac
tion, and he denounced the war as 1111justi-
Bable and without cause. •
Mr. Gladstone introduced the second part
of the Reform measure—the redistribution
of seats. No borough is to be thoroughly
disfranchised, but numerous district con
stituencies are to be grouped into one. Seats
are to be thus released and distributed
among the counties and more populous bo•
roughs.
Tha measure is generally regarded as
satisfactory and likely to be carried.
Bills have also been introduced reducing
the franchise in Scotland and Ireland.
The prospects of war were apparently
thickening.
There has been no confirmation of the ru
mored report of a European Congress, and
no signs of mediation.
Warlike preparations were active, and
the money markets were greatly depressed.
Napoleon made a signricartt speech at
Auterre, in which he said he detested the
treaty of 1815.
The Paris Bourse had accepted it as a sig

Rentes fell 2 per cent. There hadlieen an
almost corresponding depression in Lon
don, but the decline in funds was less se
vere, and there was a alight improvement
on the Bth.
Six Prussian corps d'arniee had been
mobilized. Orders had been issued placing
the'whole Austrian army on a war tooting.
General military activity is reported from
Italy. Volunteers were being received into
the army for one year's service.
A royal decree had been issued ordering
the formation ,of a volunteer corps of
twenty battalions, under. the command of
